Here in this chapter we read of the summary of the journeys of Israel, starting from the time when they went out of Egypt until they camped in the plains of Moab. Each stop was specifically recorded. God remembers their long journey, each stage was never forgotten.
Then we read of God's instruction to Israel through Moses. Israel was to drive out the inhabitants of the Land of Canaan. They were to destroy all idolatrous objects. And they were to possess the land.
Then we read of how the land was to be divided among the Israelite tribes. The land was to be divided equitably among them. Failure to drive out the inhabitants of the land would mean trouble for them, with God working against them.
